Hi,

Ive decided to test out motul 300v chrono oil on my r32 and the results have been awesome.

The car idles much smoother and quieter.

Just wanted to know how long I could drive on this oil before replacing. Being such an expensive oil I would like to think it would last longer than your regular oils.

My previous oil (martini) was changed every 5000km but wasnt as expensive or fancy as the 300v.

Would the 300v be fine up to 7500km or 10000km?

The car is a daily and will see one motorkhana event in the next 5000km.

Should i bother changing it every 5000km for a daily or can i stretch it out to 7500 / 10000km?

Thanks

Patrick

My car is a daily used for work and uni, so i do a bit of driving. I usually do 5000km in about 3 months.

As the motul is 2-3x more expensive than the regular oils, wanted to know if it had a longer lifespan due to its quality. Didnt want to dump $100 every couple of months when it can easily last more kilometers.

Its fully synth, they can easy last 10,000 KMs infact Ive read that changing fully synth oils before 10,000 KMs is pointless.

Mate my 2 cents is you are over doing it with 300v in gtst unless it's heavily moded rb20. I had gtst and Motul 4100 10-40w is just fine if you change it every 3 mts or 5k wichever comes first. Of course if money is no issue then go with 300v.

Also any good quality semi syn oil is fine if you change it frequently and if you buy bulk (20l) can it's even cheaper!

Oh and don't forget after any track work oil change is a must.

What do you mean by heavily modified? My car currently has rebuilt hks2530 and will be pushing about 220kw atw after tune. Went with motul 300v for the sake of the new turbo.

I'll try 4100 next time.

Hey pat, send a pm to Athid (the guard roller from melb). He is a Motul rep, last time I spoke to him he said 10,000 would be fine ( I think they did a 25,000km test in his company car on 300V and the oil was still fine and they had it tested for metal content etc) but it depends on your car and how you drive. I usually change it at least every 6 months regardless of km's, but if you're doing heaps of track days or the oil starts getting abit dark then change it earlier.

Yep, digging up an old thread, but didn't want to start a new one.

I've had the 300V in for approx 3 months, and have only done around 1000k's which included 2 track days. On both track days brakes went pretty early so really didn't push that much. (1st day cracked the rear rotors, second day cracked the fronts :-) ) Should i change?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
